Whether you are in Fort Lauderdale either before or after your cruise enjoy an exciting day trip to Key West and time on a state-of-the-art glass bottom boat. See exciting Key West, soak up the ambiance, enjoy the history, and then go on a glass bottom boat over the world's 3rd largest coral reef system.
Riding on comfortable, air-conditioned transportation you'll see some great sights as you cross 42 bridges to get to one of the most famous islands in the world, Key West. It's a 5-hour trip, so just sit back and relax, take a nap, and take in the sights as you head to the southernmost point in Florida.
When you arrive in Key West, part of this package includes a sightseeing trip on a roomy glass-bottom boat. You'll go to the dock and be welcomed aboard by the captain and crew. This boat is roomy with plenty of seats and even has an air-conditioned cabin. But, it's the state-of-the-art glass bottom that will get your attention. Your experienced captain will go along over the top of America's only living coral reef. You'll have the opportunity to see hundreds of species of marine life such as tropical fish, turtles, sharks, coral, sponges, lobsters, crabs, and more. Your knowledgeable crew will also tell you about what you are seeing as well as explain the need for this healthy ecosystem. They will keep you entertained as you marvel at the beauty of the sea. Your time on the boat will be approximately 2 hours so you can also enjoy the view of Key West from the ocean.
Once you have finished your cruise on the glass bottom boat, you will have about 4 hours to look around Key West.
